V nickels all the way! Simple and elegant--Lady Liberty and big Roman V. I also enjoy the unique history of the series. It both started and ended in contorversy--1883 No Cents and the 1913 mystery nickels.

I have to say I like the incuse indian on the $2.50 and $5.00 gold coins out of all the coins in my 7070 album, before I ever started this album I would have said Morgan dollars were my all time favorite and they still hold a place in my heart but that incuse indian just has a look all its own

Just a comment on folks posting the commems with boats/ships on them...
I love those too!
I have considered even making a list of every US coin with a ship on it, and making a collection. Even just collecting every classic commem with a ship would be challenging enough IMO.
Great stuff! Thanks for the pics.

What a tough question.
For me I would have to say silver eagles and the different stages of the large cents. About ten years ago the national coin show came to where I was living and a few family members took me down to it because it would most likely be the only time I saw something like it again in my life. I walked around in total amazement and fell in love with so many things that I had never seen before. About half way through the day I noticed that there were two booths that I kept walking past and finally decided to buy something. From the first booth I bought my first silver eagle and from the other one a 1847 large cent. I had a tough time the rest of the day not to reach in my bag and keep looking at them. As I look back now, I wish I had a lot more money and understanding for coins and bought everything I saw.

For me, nothing beats the Morgan dollar. I'd sell everything else to buy these beauties. I'm addicted.

I have resisted posting in this thread; being in the Classic US Coin Forum means choosing a favourite classic US coin design. Everyone (should) know that I am fond of the Eisenhower dollar, but it is a modern US coin.  I have reviewed my 7070 album several times now and have decided that these three coins make me smile the most: 1847 Large Cent, 1867 Two Cent, and 1881 Three Cent Nickel. I'll let Prethen decide how to rank them.

I really like the Barber obverse, the early silver small eagle reverse is really cool too....

My favorite classic coin design is the 3CN. The funny thing about this, is I have yet to own one.

Hands down the complete coin obverse & reverse. My avatar speaks for my choice. She walks off the coin and the eagle soars above with an ever watchful eye! Standing Liberty quarter ptb
